    "Lu Ziming, don't even think about escaping, I will take your head today!!!"

    Seeing that Zhang Jaw was about to catch up, Lu Meng suddenly turned around and stabbed out, as if he had merged with the giant green-armored god. The momentum was so powerful that he actually fired a carbine move.  Welcome to Reading. Zhang Jia's facial expression changed dramatically, which was unexpected.  Suddenly, a violent sound broke through the air.  An arrow was seen shooting out, and the arrow suddenly showed the appearance of a golden roc spreading its wings.  There was a loud bang, and the sudden arrow shot Lu Meng's gun away by a few points, and then exploded instantly.  Lu Meng's eyes widened, he twisted his spear and stabbed at him. He opened his jaw and took advantage of the gap to dodge.  A hurricane hit, and at the critical moment, Zhang Jaw narrowly avoided it.  Lu Meng was so angry that he hurriedly put away his gun and rode away.  Zhang Jia had just escaped the disaster, but the lingering fear still lingered when Jiang Wei rushed over on horseback and asked eagerly.

    ¡°Is General Zhang in serious trouble!!?¡±

    He opened his jaw and looked at Jiang Wei, then nodded to Jiang Wei solemnly and said in a deep voice.

    "Don't worry, Bo Yao. I'm in serious trouble. That Lu Ziming is brave and powerful, and has a great strategy. He is really a serious problem for our army. You and I should go forward quickly and work together to kill him to avoid future troubles!!"

    Jiang Wei's face hardened and he shouted sternly.  So Zhang Jaw and Jiang Wei rode side by side, and the two weapons were launched at the same time. They were so powerful that they were like two dragons rising out of the river, killing the Wu soldiers and making them retreat!

    But it was said that Sun Quan was beating drums on the city to help the battle, and suddenly he saw Wei soldiers all over the mountains and plains suddenly charging out. The battle situation changed drastically in an instant. His army was defeated like a mountain, with countless dead, and there was a shocking and bloody scene before his eyes.  Sun Quan trembled all over, his drum stick fell to the ground, and he fell into a daze.  Lu Su hurried over, with a sad look on his face, and urged him quickly.

    "Your Majesty!! Now that our army has regained its strength, we must quickly withdraw our troops and teach the soldiers on the city to prepare for the response!!"

    Lu Su drank it, and Sun Quan suddenly came back to his senses. He looked like he was crazy and shouted loudly.  The generals on the city took orders one after another, quickly lowered the suspension bridge and opened the city gate.  After a moment, the golden horn sounded.  The soldiers of Soochow retreated in embarrassment and ran towards the opening of Nanchang City Gate.  When the Wei generals saw this, they immediately led their troops to cover up the killing. The shouts of killing instantly shook the world, accompanied by bursts of miserable screams.  The Wu soldiers suffered numerous casualties and were unable to fight back, being killed and brutalized by the Wei soldiers wantonly.  Seeing Wu soldiers from all armies swarming into the city, Zhang Zha and Jiang Wei looked at each other, shouted loudly, led their troops to charge wildly, and came to seize the city gate.  When Lu Su saw this, his face was cold, and he hurriedly urged the soldiers and horses to enter the city quickly. A group of Wu soldiers rushed into the city one after another.  Jiang Wei took the lead and rushed to the suspension bridge. He slashed and stabbed with his crescent silver halberd, causing the surrounding Wu soldiers to fall into the moat.  Suddenly, an order was given from the city, and arrows shot down wildly.  When Jiang Wei saw this, his face was startled, and he hurriedly waved his silver crescent halberd to resist. There were many casualties among Wei soldiers and Wu soldiers in the city.  When Sun Quan saw the Soochow soldiers being shot to death one by one by his own army, he suddenly became furious and shouted hysterically at Lu Su!

    "Lu Zijing!! There are still many soldiers of our army who have not entered the city. How dare you give orders without authorization!!?"

    Lu Su's face was solemn, but a look of extreme pain flashed through his eyes, and he shouted coldly.

    "The Wei invaders are approaching the city and want to seize the city gate. If we don't give the order, Nanchang will be difficult to protect!!"

    After Lu Su finished drinking, he saw the soldiers opening their jaws to lead the troops to kill again, and immediately issued another order, ordering the crossbowmen on the city to fire arrows.  Arrows were flying and falling from the sky. Wei soldiers and Wu soldiers under the city were shot to death. Screams, angry shouts, and curses were heard endlessly.  Upon seeing this, many Wu soldiers defected and surrendered.  Ding Feng, Lu Xun and other generals hurriedly stabilized the morale of the army and led their troops to flee towards the east and west gates.  Xia Houyuan immediately divided his troops to pursue the attack, and taught Wang Ping to lead an army to pursue them to the east gate, while Xia Houyuan went to the west gate.  Seeing this, Lu Su quickly sent an order to teach the guards at the East and West gates to be careful. If it was absolutely necessary, don't worry, order a killing to force the Wei invaders back, and never let the Wei invaders take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate.  So under Nanchang City, there was a mass killing everywhere.  It was particularly fierce under the north gate. Jiang Wei and Zhang Jia made sudden attacks one after another. They were forced to retreat by random arrows from the city every time they were about to kill at the city gate.  Lu Meng led his troops and rushed into the city despite the rain of arrows. Lu Su saw him and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.  Dozens of Wu soldiers rushed to support him, and there was a loud bang.  The north gate is blocked.  No matter how worried the crossbowmen on the city were, arrows, flying stones, and rolling logs kept falling.  The Wei soldiers were unable to retreat and suffered many casualties.  At the same time, the east and west gates were also blocked, and both Xia Houyuan and Wang Ping's armies were shot back by random arrows from the city.

    Cao Cao was on a high mountain outside the city, observing the battle situation coldly. He saw what had just happened before his eyes, and saw Wu soldiers withdrawing one after another.  Cao Cao showed a somewhat strange look and exclaimed.

    "This Lu Zijing is a decisive person and understands the overall situation. He is definitely not an ordinary person! However, after this battle, the situation in Nanchang has been decided!!"

    Cao Cao admired Lu Su and sighed. Then he ordered the flags to be waved left and right, and ordered the gold to be withdrawn.  The Mingjin horn sounded, and all the Wei soldiers obeyed the order and immediately withdrew.  The Wu soldiers on the city gates were frightened by the attack of the Wei soldiers. They felt as if they had lost their souls. Seeing the Wei soldiers retreat one after another, their nerves were tense.Many people were paralyzed, crying in grief.  In this battle, countless flesh and blood brothers died, and Soochow's situation became even more critical!

    That night, the entire city of Nanchang was filled with heaviness and uneasiness, and bursts of wailing and crying could be heard from time to time.  In the county government office, Sun Quan's face was extremely cold, and there was a deep look of sorrow in his eyes.  According to the statistics of various generals, almost half of the 15,000 soldiers and horses that attacked the city today were lost. There are now less than 30,000 soldiers left in the city, and among them there are nearly two to three thousand wounded soldiers and seventeen volunteers.  , more than 8,000 people, which means that Sun Quan has less than 20,000 elite soldiers and horses left in his hands.  Although the Wei army suffered successive losses, there were still approximately 200,000 soldiers left, equipped with powerful siege weapons such as thunderbolt chariots.  The Wei soldiers were nearly twenty times the strength of Nanchang City. How could Soochow resist the Wei soldiers' offensive?  ?

    Sun Quan took a deep breath of cold air, and when he swallowed it, it was as cold as cutting off intestines, and he groaned in silence.  Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and other generals all had lonely faces and bleak looks in their eyes.  The other generals also bowed their heads and remained silent, almost all with one thought flashing in their minds.

    "With the current situation, Soochow still has the power to recover!?"

    At this moment, a man gathered his nerves, walked out slowly, and held his hands in front of everyone.

    "Your Majesty! Our army has suffered a huge loss in this battle, and the Wei invaders are armed with powerful siege weapons such as thunderbolt chariots. I am afraid that Nanchang City will not be able to survive for a long time. According to Yong's opinion, we can temporarily avoid its edge and withdraw our troops back to Wu County.  Integrate soldiers and horses from all counties, as well as volunteer troops, to fight to the death with the Wei invaders. At the same time, he also sent a general to rush to Changsha, Guiyang, Jiaozhou and other southwest places to urge troops and horses to Wu County to rush for reinforcements and attack the Wei invaders.  . In this way, Soochow still has a chance!¡±

    Sun Quan heard the words and took a closer look. The person who came to remonstrate was Gu Yuantan, the great Sima of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.  A few months ago, Sun Quan had already ordered the generals He Qi and Zhu Zhi to go to the southwest to recruit troops.  At this time, the two men have probably been recruited.  Sun Quan felt certain in his heart, showed a bit of joy, and nodded.

    ¡°What Yuan Tan said is true, so according to Yuan Tan¡¯s opinion, who can go there!?¡±

    When Gu Yong heard this, his mind was spinning. After pondering for a while, he said with emotion.

    "Lu Boyan has both wisdom and courage, and is well versed in strategy. He can be taught to command the troops in the southwest!!"

    After hearing this, Sun Quan glanced at Lu Su and Lu Meng, and both of them secretly nodded in agreement.  So Sun Quan's expression condensed and he ordered in a deep voice.

    ¡°Where is Lu Boyan!!?¡±

    When Lu Xun heard Sun Quan's call, his eyes suddenly lit up, he burst out angrily, and he raised his hands in response.

    "Report to the king, Lu Boyan is here!"

    "With Gu's order, you quickly lead three thousand elite troops to the southwest, urge the troops and horses, prepare them early in the day, and lead the three armies to Wu County to come to the rescue!! There must be no mistake!!"

    Sun Quan shouted loudly, and Lu Xun accepted the order with emotion.  Sun Quan then wrote a letter and handed it to Lu Xun together with the military order, and the instructions were completed.  Sun Quan ordered him to pack up and set off that night.  Lu Xun's face was solemn. After saying goodbye to everyone, he quickly exited.  Not long after Lu Xun left, Lu Su concentrated his attention and went to greet Sun Quan with his eyes shining.

    "The Wei invaders are coming with ferocious force and have a huge force. They want to annex Soochow and their ambitions are obvious. Although we are at a disadvantage at the moment, don't worry about it, Your Majesty. We have received the favor of the country and the salary of the country, so we will naturally die in the service of the country. Yisu  I see that the Wei invaders don't have much baggage, and when their baggage is used up, their army will definitely be defeated without attacking. Now they can send people along the way to Wu County, notify the officials of each county along the way, and transfer the baggage from each county to Wu County to gather.  So that the Wei invaders can hardly get supplies, but we gather our forces to fight against the Wei invaders in Wu County, and the whole country is united. How can we be afraid of the Wei invaders?"

    As soon as Lu Su said this, Sun Quan was shocked and felt strong.  Generals such as Lu Meng and Ding Feng also came out one after another and responded sternly.  When the generals in the palace heard this, their spirits were greatly shaken, and the look of hope rekindled in their ashen eyes.  Sun Quan's expression darkened and he was full of energy. His green eyes suddenly became bright and he asked in a solemn voice.

    "Wei Kou scouts have been scouting outside the city day and night. If our army wants to withdraw now, if old thief Cao finds out about it, he will send troops to attack. Do you have any plans?"

    As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Lu Meng's eyes were filled with brilliant light, and he spoke harshly.

    "There is a big family of the Zhou family in the city, and the chief of the clan is named Zhou Qiang. The king can summon him to see him and teach him to send the sycophants in the clan to work carefully, sneak out of the city secretly, surrender to the old thief, and then inform the old thief that our army  It will be removed soon.¡±

    Before Lu Meng finished speaking, Ding Feng's expression changed drastically after hearing this, and he shouted loudly.

    "General Lu told people to inform the old thief of our army's movements! Could it be that he wants to surrender the old thief!?"

    Ding Feng stared wildly, pointed angrily at Lu Meng, and roared.  After hearing this, Lu Meng shook his head, smiled, and became angry.  Lu Su, who was beside him, understood clearly in his heart and said to Ding Feng in a solemn voice.

    "Chengyuan must not be presumptuous!! Ziming is a loyal and loyal person.How could he fall to the old thief!  ?  Chengyuan didn't know something.  The old thief has always been suspicious.  If someone from the Zhou clan reported that our army was about to withdraw, they would have thought it was a lie and would have stopped moving.  By the time they found out, we had already evacuated Nanchang!  !  Zi Ming understood this plan and found out the old thief's character. It was really wonderful!  !  I'm not as good as that.  "

    Lu Su smiled knowingly at Lu Meng, but Lu Meng was arrogant, bowed his hands humbly, and praised him.  Ding Feng finally came to his senses and quickly apologized to Lu Meng.  Lu Meng waved his hand. He and Ding Feng had always been on good terms, and he knew that Ding Feng was impatient, so how could he blame him?

    So Sun Quan followed L¨¹ Meng¡¯s plan and summoned Zhou Qiang to see him and give him instructions one by one.  Zhou Qiang accepted the order and went to find his cousin Zhou Cong that night to discuss secretly.  It is said that Zhou Cong is cunning and secretly has an affair with Zhou Qiang's concubine.  Zhou Qiang has long wanted to get rid of him, but Zhou Cong's lineage has a lot of power in the clan.  Zhou Qiang did not dare to act rashly. He had heard what Sun Quan said earlier and understood clearly in his heart, so he took this opportunity to get rid of Zhou Cong.  Zhou Cong saw that the Wei army was strong, and he had long wanted to surrender. However, Zhou Qiang was pedantic. When he saw that Zhou Qiang had finally enlightened him, he was overjoyed and accepted the offer. He thought that Cao Cao must have achieved great success this time.  If he is rewarded, then he will get an official position. If he wants to kill Zhou Qiang, wouldn't it be easy to turn his hand?
